Nope, I took the time to read about what actually happened and I didn't sleep through physics.

I've tried to answer many a question for them using this pesky thing called "evidence". Funny thing is, it doesn't work. They aren't skeptics in regards to what happened because they have already made up their minds absent fact and reason. Skepticism and fanaticism should never be confused with one another.

Now really, I'm not responding to anything else.

Face facts, physics, engineering and the true bane of every conspiracy-motive. The narrative of "loose change" is a pathetic loser and only a loser would even give it a second thought. It is sad that people devote time to this instead of paying attention to the real threats we face.
They seem to be forever distracted by the game of three card monte on the corner while the block burns. The human comedy continues.

Easy there killer, I only said never mind because I didn't want to start an argument. I have read your thoughts and got the general consensus. Your thoughts have not run contrary to my own in the sense that I am just curious and you have already made up your mind on the subject matter.

jungle, you seem like a cool guy and I especially enjoy your photos. Do not make the mistake of assuming I'm some idiot who believes everything I see, read, or hear. I take everything with a grain of salt.

I don't assume anything, nor am I intrigued by arguments that the moon may be made of blue cheese. If you find yourself intrigued by such arguments then it will cause more level thinkers to assume the worst even though you protest innocence in your motives.
If you think such trash is worthy of consideration, you have said far more than you think.

So, no matter what I say, I am an idiot?

I would never post such a thing to see what people think for example.
I assume that you posted it for one of two reasons:
1) Either you think there is some validity to the musing or
2) You posted with only the intent to incite.

Which is it?

Not at all, but being intrigued by very poor arguments does not speak well for your case. Nobody is calling you an idiot, but your actions seem to have constructed a rather large sign.

As I respect your power and his, I choose my words very carefully: Neither. I'm not an idiot and I have no intent to incite. And I'm not a fan of being backed into a corner either.

There are very few opinions I care for on APCF, but jungle, however, and yourself happen to fall in my list of "People with Level Heads on APCF" and therefore your thoughts hold some weight. Never underestimate the power of words (I'm learning that with every passing post).

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up. Now, I've got some research to do on this subject. If no one has any objections, I'll begin here:
